Quote:Hindsight is 20/20 with tavon though. The potential he offered before the draft paired with Megatron could have been awesome. I'm interested to see what it looks like with Tate and then ebron once he starts getting more snaps.

 

In fairness,  I thought Dee Milliner would have been the best/ safest option with pick # 5.   While that could still prove to be the case,  based on what I've seen so far,  I think the choice of Ziggy Ansah over Milliner was the better choice by G.M. Martin Mayhew.  

 

The concern I have with Tavon is how many plays can he hold up for in a typical game?    Tavon is going to have his moments of greatness in the NFL,  as he has already demonstrated.   I just don't think they will be often enough,  especially when comparing him to Cordarrelle Patterson.   

 

The Lions have the potential for a dynamic Offense if everything comes and stays together.    The players you mentioned,  combined with the playmaking skills of RB's Reggie Bush and Theo Riddick,  with a good all around Offensive Line, looks great on paper.   Especially with the power option that Joique Bell can provide at RB.   How well Matthew Stafford performs in the new Offensive System,  with the emphasis on improved mechanics and decision making,  will go a very long way in determining whether production comes very close to potential.
